Down 64lbs in one year!

Ha! First spot I noticed weight coming off was my face, right in those opening weeks of shots. After that it was basically a race between my chest and backside to see which could shrink fastest! Ten months in, chest won the sprint, dropping two cup sizes within about a month, while my backside looks like it's going to take the marathon instead. Still gradually shrinking there, chest's leveled off. Total loss so far sits at 62 lbs.

Now if only my midsection would get the hint! Honestly resemble a potato propped up on toothpick limbs these days. Nothing fits properly, pant legs hang way too loose while the waist stays snug. Still have another 40 lbs ahead of me though, so fingers crossed most of that comes from the belly.

Appreciate this reply! Know results vary a lot person to person, especially with things like loose skin in the mix.

Seen a lot of people mention their bodies naturally settled at a goal weight close to wherever they were before the weight gain started, but there's never really been a baseline here since extra weight's been around a long time.

Planning to stop somewhere in a target range, allowing a little rebound afterward, and the ideal weight for this height should land somewhere close to that anyway. Will also just see how things look at that point, hoping there's a real chance to reach it. Some people apparently stop losing before getting there though. Hmm.

Shed a huge amount that first year, another chunk the second, then leveled off at 144 as someone who's 5'6". Was content with the number itself but still had plenty of stubborn fat left to tone. These past six months my doctor scaled my dose way back and I've slowly regained about 10lbs since.

Nope, I came off the shots and ended up gaining most of it back, thankfully not all of it though. My fear of needles got so bad I just couldnt keep up with the injection routine mentally. Switched over to the wegovy pill, not quite as powerful, but ive clawed back 32 pounds of the roughly 85 I regained. Only losing about 3 to 4 pounds monthly at this rate, so my target is getting back to my lowest weight sometime within the next couple years. Maintenance on some version of this long term, possibly indefinitely, is something my doctor and I both expect.

Nine months off the drug was my own decision, my workouts slacked off and eventually stopped, I couldn't find the motivation, and predictably the pounds returned. I restarted last February, took weekly shots over the first couple of months, then stretched the gap to a shot every 4 weeks, a routine I kept up nearly two years until I quit. Being a super responder, I shed my regain within roughly six weeks, and I hold steady at my pre-break weight.

Same here. Insurance dropped my coverage, I switched jobs, put 35 pounds back on, and now I'm sitting around waiting on approval through the new plan. Doctor seems confident it'll come through. This medication really has been the one thing that worked, I've had two weight loss surgeries and I'm also going through menopause, and nothing else ever touched it like this has.
